Is the 'earth-human' obsession with the disposal of one of their kind, usually once it has ceased to function, in various complicated and/or sophisticated ways, merely a subconscious desire to prevent its natural development into its 'fossil' stage?
Why should we go to such lengths to prevent this? Afterall, even palaeontologists have the right to earn a living; and do we really need, in this 'green-conscious' age, the extra air-pollution caused by burning stuff, or the rarification of our oxygen-supply through the burying of trees in the ground (which incidentally expended a great-deal of time and energy in the attempt to get out), shaped to contain a non-functioning earth-human.
My questions are:
What is the NEXT STAGE after the fossil-stage?
And, what is wrong with the idea of providing an area (chosen for its ease of access to palaeontologists) where this development can be allowed to occur without impediment?
